About the Role
Looking for a role that keeps you active and gets you out and about each day? Join our Meter Reading Services team and help deliver an essential service to local communities.
As a Meter Reader, you'll travel throughout Invercargill and the wider surrounding area as required reading electricity and gas meters. Every day is different as you work across a variety of locations, enjoy being outdoors, and meet customers (and often their pets) along the way.

Recording meter readings using a handheld device
Driving between assigned routes and walking between properties
Providing friendly and professional customer service when interacting with residents
Working safely and following all company health and safety procedures
What We Are Looking For
You'll be motivated, energetic, and confident working outdoors in all weather conditions. While you'll work independently, you'll be expected to work within established processes and take pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work.
To be successful in this role, you'll also have:
A full New Zealand driver's licence (essential)
The ability to walk approximately 5 to 6 kilometres per day
The ability to frequently get in and out of a vehicle and navigate uneven terrain
Confidence and comfort around dogs and other household pets
Good attention to detail and accuracy
Flexibility to work additional hours during busy periods
